Land Rover – other models: the collective page of vehicles outside the named ranges, Forward Control 101 and 109, the TACR airfield crash-rescue tender, 2.5- to 3.5-litre engines from Solihull
This page gathers the Land Rover vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – mostly military and official special versions based on the long-wheelbase 109 and 110 and the forward-control 101 range from the Solihull plant. TACR stands for Truck Aerodrome Crash Rescue, the fire-and-rescue tender built on a Land Rover base specifically for airfield use; the FC designation generally marks the forward-control versions used militarily as tow tractors or personnel carriers. The 101 Forward Control was developed specifically to carry guns and equipment within the NATO alliance.

The register lists here 12 versions with an output of about 116 kW, displacements from 2,495 to 3,528 cm³ across four to eight cylinders, unladen weights from 1,630 to 2,810 kg, gross weights from 3,400 to 3,730 kg, lengths from 4,495 to 5,400 mm and widths from 1,650 to 2,120 mm.
Land Rover commercial vehicles of this kind have served armed forces, emergency services and agriculture worldwide; the military special versions such as the 101 Forward Control and the TACR tenders reflect the brand's particular versatility beyond its civilian series models.
On a used example, check rust on the box-section chassis and floor panels, the condition of the front swivel housings and bearings, engine originality given the many diesel conversions, and, for former military or official vehicles, documentation of prior history and conversions; parts are readily available through the wide network of Land Rover specialists.
